Focus Landing Gear

[Adam Glatt]

Hi Matt, I and some fellow pattern pilots from Western Canada have all pitched in for a locally designed mold, and we will be offering this fuse with a few wing options.  The fuse will be painted in the mold.  We need 10 sets of CF landing gear and had planned on going with Bollys, but we are certainly interested in your gear.  Are there pictures of it anywhere?  What would the price be for 10 sets?  Also, we have seen samples of colored carbon fiber and kevlar weaves (red, blue, yellow).  Any chance you could offer these colors?

We are also interested in the wheel pants.

  Anthony, 

  I have two sets of full compression molds completed for two piece landing gear. One sets the plane approximately 7 1/2" inches off the ground with a 2 1/2" wheel and the other approximately 9 1/2". That is, the bottom of the fuse is set  this much off the ground. The first set accomodates 16" props and the second at least 18", on typical pattern planes.

  These are carbon fibre gear primarily, are fully airfoiled, and come with the axle nuts pre-installed in the moldings. The typical  weight is approximately 50 grams each leg. The typical finished, RTF weight is in the 3.5 ounce per side range when matched with a lite pant and wheel. 

  I will be making a mold of the pants to match also, by early next year or sooner if I can get to it.

  Let me know if you need a set.
